POPS So Good The Washington Independent on the prospect for “Church-Pike” hearings by the Senate Judiciary Committee, another great idea to hamstring and distract intelligence services in wartime that Obama may discover, sort of like closing Guantanamo, isn’t the greatest idea. Human rights groups want some drama with their national angst. Detainee Truth Commissions, please. Because fighting al-Qaeda = Apartheid.

POPSCalming your thoughts through mindfulness "We want to move into a place where the outside world will do whatever it's going to do without us going through the roller coaster of emotions," Rogers says. "We want to maintain this more alive, vigilant, present way of being that is somewhat independent of how things are going."

POPSBeauty And The Release "All they've ever been is shut down in their lives, and now they have this chance to verbally emote," said Joe Loya, a senior staffer who works at several of the Walden facilities throughout the state. Like any beauty pageant, it was also about primping. Just half an hour before it started, the upstairs hallway was full of dark red lips and masses of hair as women hurriedly tugged at borrowed dresses and pulled on strapped heels. "

POPSIs Eco-therapy for you? "Melissa Pickett, an eco-therapist in Santa Fe, N.M., who says she treats dozens of patients a month, said sometimes she has to tell extreme greenies to chill out for their own good. "The global warming craze will cause your clients to go into extremism fueled by fear," she says." "And with eco-therapy around, that extremism can get expensive. Eco-therapy can cost as much as traditional psychotherapy, upwards of $100 an hour. There's a lot of green in being green." "But Pickett said eco-therapy helps those grappling with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness about the environment." "People break down and cry. They develop obsessive-compulsive behavior. They have nightmares," Pickett said. "And these are normally high-functioning people." She pushes her eco-disturbed patients to take shorter showers, turn off lights and computers, consume less, buy less and learn as much as they can about global warming.

POPSEco-therapy........unreal.
another gem from moonbattery.com "Fear, grief, anger, confusion and depression," Edwards says, pointing to the negativity that has manifested itself in real-life symptoms such as neck and shoulder pain, fibromyalgia and fatigue. "I had so much pathos. It's so sad," says Edwards, who moved from California's crowded Santa Monica to a secluded cabin in Los Padres National Forest to help her cope. Now, she says: "We only drive to the grocery store every three weeks. We have our own source of water. We compost and no longer heat every room on the first floor." Edwards suffers from eco-anxiety, the growing angst experienced by those who can't handle the thought that they — or anyone — are in some way contributing to global warming, species extinction and dwindling natural resources.

POPSAggressive teens have mismatched brains
It is said, as it has been said for a while, that 'Kids are growing up quickly these days' and the speed seems to relate to the rate of technological progress, but 'growing up' is a double edged sword. While many have a remarkable ability to understand computers, and recently developed innovations, and crack some of the most elaborate codes, to the point where earlier generations can't keep up with them, emotional maturity does not match this advance in a similar way, and may in fact be stunted by the preoccupation of the brain with technical knowledge. An important question is rising which concerns the development of both children and adolescents, where growth will establish the bases of adult physiology and understanding - the relationships between emotional intellectual and physical development, and how they are changing. Of course nothing will ever make puberty a cakewalk, but if parents and other adults are going to provide the best support. When, and when not to get involved?

POPSHighlights from a "Dating Quiz" that is utterly cracktastic http://www.askdreldritch.com/aethiswk.html would be the URL. And, besides being exceedingly amusing and very cracky....it seems like a logical quiz that someone from the Asylum might actually want to give to an out-Asylum romantic interest.....because we WOULD be the type to end up with a female alien queen from Cygnus pretending to be a hot male bookshop owner......or something of that ilk. Just sayin', 's all.
